Good day to all.

I'm Deshibasara. Call me Deshi, Deshiba, Des, whatever you wish is fine. This is my first attempt at signing onto an internet forum so I hope things go well. I'm 22-male, currently based in Vladivostok, Russia for my first year of graduate school.

Now the fun part - what I do. :) I've been a judo practitioner since age 14 (currently black 1st dan) and a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioner since age 17 (currently brown belt). As of now though the nearest dojos for either are not that accessible from my flat, but I have started with Sambo at a nearby school - that's going well for me right now and I get to borrow applications from Japanese Judo and BJJ as well, hybrid system that Sambo is. I'm still a novice at it but I'm appreciating how similar it is to the first two arts I practiced - feels right at home. :)

Pleasure to meet you all here. Looking forward to meeting new people. See you around the forums!

I did a sambo seminar once. It was fun stuff. As a warm up we did hand springs. Which might have been an over estimation of our abilities.

Hey guys, thank you all for coming out and making a newcomer feel welcome.

Those hand springs are terrific for building flexible strength. Do you remember who held the seminar?
